Like, apparently, a dude can do this:



and have no problems running for the US Senate.

But if, say, a woman did this:



she'd probably find herself unable to find any serious work if it was found by an employer.

America, you have no family values.

It's not pron. So i'll delegate to Nuke for another opinion.

Double standards are beautiful things.

Personally, iamzack, pornographic magazines have zero influence on who I vote for during senate elections. OH WAIT! I'm a minor and no one cares because I'm neither allowed to buy pornographic magazines nor vote. 

[General Battuta]

You'll be able to vote in, like, a year. Get over it! 

And unfortunately the pornographic magazines probably do influence who you vote for during senate elections, if only because a woman running like this would be tarred as an air-headed starlet.

it makes me confident that i have a larger penis than the governor of california

but those pictures dont prove your point. zack, you need more data and less feminist propaganda.

[General Battuta]

On that note, porn star Mary Cook did run for Governor of California. I dunno how well she did.

EDIT: hahah, she placed tenth, though it appears it was a joke platform. Interestingly, she argued her career did not impair her performance, citing Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenneger.

I'm inclined to disagree with her, but perhaps in the future I'll see evidence to the contrary. For the moment all this implicit attitude data seems to suggest that women are put at a greater disadvantage by porn careers because it's stereotype-congruent for them.

[TESLA]

Does anyone really care?

[General Battuta]

Yes, very much so, and hopefully eventually everyone will.

Achieving a better semblance of gender equality is a critical step along our path forward as a species.

And that goes both ways - for double standards that work against men as well as those which work against women.

[StarSlayer]

Well in a few minutes we will know if MA does.  Quite frankly this vote embodies something a bit bigger then just the seat up here.

[iamzack]

There's a lot of money to be made in porn, but since I'm a chick it'll likely ruin any chances of a really good career.

If I was a dude, it would earn me admiration. Ugh.

[General Battuta]

I'm not totally confident that a male wouldn't also take a credibility hit, but it would probably be smaller, since the traits associated with a male pornstar - virility, endurance, dominance, aggression - are also associated with leadership.

Right, I just got home, this is my last contribution to the subject.
 
 
I only know who Sarah Palin is because I find her attractive. Based on the fact i'd see her on tv more, (if it applied to me) i'd vote for her. . . Milf factor. Maybe there's a demographic for the guy in the first post. But I couldn't say.
 
 
On that note, goodnight hardlight.

Palin's not even really that attractive.  She's just dumb and annoying.

Bristol on the other hand...

[Nuke]

if you want to do porn, and then later want to do politics, id advise becoming a dominatrix.

In a PM. I apologise if I epitomise what you're highlighting Iamzack, just see me as a demo tool

On the male porn star running for Senate in Massachusetts...he currently leads 51 to 48 in the exit polls.   You know, Ted Kennedy is spinning in his grave.

Okay, the guy posed once in cosmo when he was in college, not exactly the same as Ron Jeremy.  Quite frankly the impact of this race and what it portents for the midterm elections is a whole lot bigger then what he did as a kid

Fair enough.

He's still a moron.
